MTL - Cultivation Is Like This-Chapter 10 but familiar

   Chapter 10

   "Do you want to learn alchemy?"

   Leaving the study, Lu Bei told Bai Jin his idea of ​​preparing for further studies. The latter was very puzzled when he heard the words, thinking that Lu Bei was on a whim.

   "It's not a whim, Senior Sister, I'm serious."

  Lu Bei said with a serious face: "I want to learn a craft, not to mention that there are too many skills but not too much pressure, there are many paths and many ways to make a living, just to say that alchemy is a must-have skill for people of my generation, and early contact is also a good thing."

   "Junior Brother, you are a good starter in your practice. It would be too hasty to get into alchemy now. It is only right that you should cultivate a lot to stabilize the foundation."

  Bai Jin shook his head and said, "If it's because of the lack of medicinal herbs during practice, just say it directly. You can find you Senior Sister Zhu when I'm not around, and she will meet your requirements."

  Bai Jin suspects that Lu Bei lacks a sense of security, that Sanqing Peak is too poor and does not have many cultivation resources, and that he is young and high-spirited and refuses to ask for help, so he has the idea of ​​learning alchemy.

   If you don’t learn alchemy, you have no experience. If you don’t have experience, you must cultivate honestly. If you practice honestly, I will not be a genius.

  Lu Bei murmured in his heart, his face straightened: "Senior sister, let me tell you the truth, I either cultivate or cultivate every day, and you don't let me go out. I'm bored and want to find some hobbies to pass the time."

   "Junior and brother's words are reasonable, but I didn't think about it carefully."

  Bai Jin nodded, she could accept this reason.

   Throwing Lu Bei into the Dasheng Kuantan room, learning alchemy without leaving home, without worrying about being hurt by the crisis-ridden world, and having Zhu Yan to take care of him, is indeed a good way to pass the time.

   In this way, it also avoids the possibility of Lu Bei being left unattended during the day without her being around and sneaking out.

   "Senior Sister Zhu, I will help you speak. It's not difficult to think about it."

   "Then I will trouble Senior Sister."

  Lu Bei nodded, suddenly thought of something when he turned to leave, and said with a strange expression: "Senior sister, aren't you in a hurry to return to the High Heaven Sword Sect? Why aren't you in a hurry?"

  “…”

  Bai Jindeng blushed and only said that he still had to buy some items in Dashengguan, all of which belonged to the girl's house, so Lu Bei didn't ask more.

   Can you call girls too?

   Put the facts and reason, your junior sister's daughter is called a girl!

   The corners of Lu Bei's mouth twitched. He was very sensible and didn't say it. The goal has been achieved, and it's time to retire.

  …

   The next day, Bai Jin left early in the morning and planted three sword talismans on the back of Lu Bei's hand, only to say that he would be safe in a critical moment.

   Zhu Yan Yuyu said goodbye to Bai Jin unhappily, and took Lu Bei by carriage to Huang Jizong's station in Dashengguan.

   Dashengguan, as the county seat and the first county of Dongqi, is second to none in terms of population and economy. The stationing of Emperor Jizong has brought the county’s prosperity to a higher level.

   Not to mention, the economic benefits brought by the rich royal family like Zhu Yan alone are not small.

   First of all, the sale of land is flying.

  Secondly, the Huangjizong Dashengguan station has supplements and consumption of medicinal pills and arrays every day, and the cooperating merchants and immortals come and go, which is another huge tax revenue account.

   This is not the point. The point is that Emperor Jizong’s residence in Dashengguan is located in a valley in the west of the county. It is clearly far from the center of the county, and the number of shops on both sides of the road is still undiminished.

   And the valley was completely under the control of Emperor Jizong, and it was divided into several areas for use by different departments.

  Pill room area, pavilions and pavilions, surrounded by green trees.

With the naked eye, there is no strict guard, but in fact, the formations are interlocked. If there is no guarantee from Zhu Yan, a certificate is opened at the entrance. If Lu Bei can't take two steps, he will be escorted to the small by the big man who jumped out of the grass. black house.

   Zhu Yan is the account book of the Dan room. There is a boss in charge and two colleagues who are also account books. The main daily work is done by these three people. She is mainly responsible for messing around.

  As long as she commutes to and from get off work on time, she can basically attend 15 days a month, and is an excellent subordinate most praised by the master.

   Don't ask, it's her surname Zhu.

  Zhu Yan is very self-aware. Others respect her not because of her, but because of her unwillingness to get into trouble. Therefore, she has no pretense when dealing with people, and greets her with smiles. Friends are everywhere.

  With her help, Lu Bei quickly found an errand in the Danfang.

   Trainee Alchemist.

  Lin Bohai, the master who took him to the beginning, has a lot of experience. He is a 20-year-old employee of the alchemy room.

  Lin Bohai looked at Lu Bei with a helpless look on his face. Seeing that he was eager to try, his face became even more helpless.

  For many years old, the most troublesome thing is to find new friends who come in. No matter if you don’t ask, it’s not easy to explain there.

   This is what he said, if you can control it, you will be damned!

  Fortunately, the days in Danfang were boring. Lin Bohai was very experienced in dealing with Mengxin, and he was confident that Zhu Yan's distant relatives would retreat in spite of difficulties within three months.

   He regained his mood and said with a pleasant face, "Lu Bei, have you ever made alchemy before?"

"no."

   "It's okay."

  Lin Bohai nodded, the answer was as he expected, he stroked his beard and smiled, "It doesn't matter, it's okay to see if someone has practiced it, it's easy to get started."

   "I haven't seen it either."

  “…”

  Lin Bohai was silent for a moment, it turned out that he was not Mengxin, but a young master who had nothing to do.

   Thinking about Zhu Yan's identity, this young master's family background will not be too bad, he is more courageous, maybe he is also a surname Zhu, and he is hiding his name to find fun below.

   That's easier.

  Lin Bohai led Lu Bei and came to a Dan room, single-person, located on the second floor, with a desk, tea, landscape paintings, and a window, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the valley.

  Alchemy here for a long time not only improves the skill of making tea, but also makes people firm up their belief in yearning for freedom.

   The young master and the young lady are here as usual, and Lin Bohai always spends it like this.

   "Lu Bei, the art of alchemy is broad and profound, and the complexities in it cannot be explained in words. This old man has studied this way for many years, and has come up with four words."

  Lin Bohai raised four fingers, and said firmly: "There is nothing difficult in the world, but you are familiar with it!"

   "Master Lin is very right."

  Lu Bei nodded again and again, he also felt that there was no need to complicate things, the personal panel would take care of everything.

After finishing speaking, he brought in a few basic alchemy books covering a wide range of subjects, as well as some cheap herbs and tools, and let Lu Bei refine them while reading them. an answer.

   "The elixir stove is here, you should try to get started first, the old man's stove should start the elixir, and the fire is a little hot, so I won't accompany you." Seeing Lu Beixing weighing the medicinal materials, Lin Bohai smeared oil on the bottom of his feet and slipped quickly.

  From a personal point of view, Lin Bohai doesn't like Lu Bei. The reason is very realistic. Bringing apprentices is attrition, wastes time and loses money.

  Alchemist's salary is pitifully low, and this is the same whether official or private.

  The official reason is too complicated. In terms of folks, alchemists have a delivery rate. Every time a pot of elixirs is refined, there are high-quality products, finished products, and waste elixirs.

   When you are lucky, a furnace is full of high-quality goods. If you are unlucky, your little hand shakes a little, and this furnace is considered a waste.

   Therefore, every time a pot of medicinal herbs is opened, the raw materials are excessive, and the alchemist is allowed to consume within a certain range.

   And the main income of an alchemist has never been salary. A skilled alchemist makes money from raw materials. After a batch of fine products and finished products is finished, the remaining raw materials are put into their own pockets and sold for profit.

  Because of this uncontrollable unspoken rule, the monthly salary of alchemists is getting lower and lower, which is a default in disguise, allowing alchemists to use their own experience and skills to earn extra money while completing the prescribed tasks.

Lu Bei, as the newest among Mengxin, must have suffered a lot of losses, and some of them have to be counted on Lin Bohai. Although Zhu Yan has made a package ticket, he does not need to worry about losses, but he is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, in case of losses. There are too many, and if he turns his face and doesn't recognize the person, can he still fight against the royal family?

   "Forget it, who made the old man have a big belly! The pill room is boring and not much fun at all. Forgive him, such a gentleman, can't stay for long."

  Lin Bohai stroked his beard for ten days, at most ten days. If Lu Bei could last for ten days, he would stand upside down and refine a pot of pills.

  ———————————

  Thanks to the leaders of 'I still come to see the genuine version', 'Accepting beautiful girls aged 16 to 25', and 'P0cKy', all of them are familiar faces, thank you for chasing me for your support.

  Speaking of which, isn't this ID banned for the beautiful girl?

   is outrageous, it was released.
